Hello,

I am going to build a gaming pc this week, and I am still trying to find the right parts that I want. I have looked around and found some parts that I want to get.

You guys tell me what you think about them!

My range of money is £600-£650

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Unlocked Processor - Retail

For the GPU I will get the GTX 560ti or the HD 6870, I am just waiting on a friend because he is selling me his 560ti for £75.

So guys tell me what you think?

Thanks :D
 
.... I was ready to get all calculatory and start multiplying some volts to prove that a HD5480 couldnt run on that... Massive let-down... :cry:

3570k instead of a 2500k. Bit better performance and lower power draw are the main benefits.

1600Mhz RAM instead of 1333Mhz. Should only be the matter of a few dollars and the upgrade is worth it. Above 1600Mhz its isn't worth it though.

This HDD is better.

It costs a bit more, but its got a higher efficiency and a better name behind it.

The HD6870 is the better GPU, but consider the price difference when buying the card. If you are getting a 560Ti for that price, its a steal even if its second hand.
